Clubs and Affinity Groups
This board focuses on supporting student engagement through Clubs and Affinity Groups. The goal of this Board is to ensure that students who are interested in connecting with others in their social identity group and/or with folks with shared interests have what they need to do so in a supportive, fun environment. This Board provides structure and logistical support to Student Organizations and contributes to the equity, diversity and inclusion of our campus community. Interested in learning more about the roles and responsibilities involved in leading a club or affinity group? Please review our Club & Affinity Group Handbook.
